The announcement in the morning papers
that Mains was to pitch yesterdays game
drew large crowd to the ball grounds.
They were well repaid for going, although
the game was rather one-sided after the first
inning. But they saw a fine exhibition of
pitching, and there were enough fine plays
to keep the interest from tagging. Mains
held the visitors down to seven hits, three of
them being made in the first inning after
chance had been offeled to retire the side
Of the other four, one was a short hit, the
ball dropping so near the home plate that
none Of the intelders could reach 1t. 1t was
made by Ellis, whose tw0-bagger later on
would have been captured by Galligan on
most occasions, but he got bad start and
just touched 1t with his hands. Three bases
on balls and wild pitch were Mains's only
errors. McDermott was forced to retire
from the box to right field after pitching six
innings for the Manehesters, and Ellis took
his place. Up to that inning the Portlands
had hit him safely thirteen times, and In the
ncAL LnTtt Innings Luey MT Ellis Tor three
singles and two doubles. McDermott did
not have very good control of the ball. and
in the second with the bases full he forced
in run by giving base on balls. Dunn
saved him several wild pitches by his
effective work behind the Bat The Port
lands scanned TO have no trouble in hitting
him, and at the very start off, in the first
inning, earned three runs after two men
were out Four hits in the first, three in the
second, two in the third, one in the fourth,
and three in the sixth was the way they
strung them along. of both pitchers they
earned nine runs-a very good thing to do off
pitchers who have hitherto been so effective
| against them.
TO tell how the Portlands got all their runs
would be tiresome. The visitors errors
helped them along very much, of course, but
the fact that they earned half they got shows
| that they worked for them. The Manches-
ters tied the score in the first inning, but
after that the champions drew away from
them and kept strong lead throughout.
The visitors runs were made as follows: In
| the FIRST inning Scheffler went out on fly
/ and COughlin had three strikes called on
him. The next ball was one over his head,
but he struck at 1t and Thayer missed it. 1t
was an excusable error. but Coughlin was
| safe at first. Troy went out on a fly, and
with no error the side would have been re-
| tired without hit or run. The next three
men hit safe and brought in three runs
Lufbery fumbled Canavan's grounder in she
| second and the latter was safe at first He
stole second and went to third on McDer-

in. Their only earned run was made in the
seventh on hits by Troy and Ellis and put
out.

errors were costly. But every one who made
miss played so brilliantly during the rest
of the game that their errors were hardly
noticed. Lufbery made a remarkable stoI
